The 2020 presidential election was not stolen. Anyone who claims it was is spreading THE BIG LIE, turning their back on the rule of law, and poisoning our democratic system.

I never thought I'd say this and I'm almost choking doing it but....

I actually respect a Cheney.

I wonder what her father thinks of all this.
 
Donald Trump is poised to tighten his grip on the Republican party with the ousting of one of his most prominent critics in Congress.

Liz Cheney, the only woman in Republican leadership in the House of Representatives, is widely expected to be voted out next week by members loyal to Trump.

Cheney is a diehard conservative and daughter of George W Bush’s vice-president, Dick Cheney. Her removal for refusing to parrot Trump’s “big lie” that last year’s election was stolen would exemplify how the Republican party remains beholden to the disgraced ex-president.

“The whole @RepLizCheney saga has been so clarifying,” David Axelrod, former chief strategist for Barack Obama, tweeted on Thursday. “She’s as conservative as they come. Her only sin was to call BS on Trump’s election fraud. For that, she will be expelled as a @GOP leader. The party is branding itself.”

I hear ya but consider what that means. Liz gets respect for recognizing reality.!!! Incredible. Simply incredible. Another thing that is mind bending about the whole affair is it demonstrates just how low the GOP has fallen. People with their feet on the ground get the ol' heave-ho from Trump, et.al. It would all be a wonderful clown show were it not for the damage being done to the USofA.

I wonder what her father thinks of all this.
I haven't seen nor heard a peep from him in a long time. I wonder if his mental fog resembles that which billows over San Francisco on a regular basis.

Boy, is she in the wrong party.
Over the past 4 years, Cheney supported Trump during congressional votes 93% of the time. She voted against impeachment over his Ukraine phone call. She has given speeches in front of anti-muslim hate groups. She has defended people in the birther movement.

So I do think she's in exactly the party she should be in, and the fact that she happened to have a change of heart at the 11th hour doesn't change that fact.

I have a hard time respecting her, as a general rule. Yes, she deserves praise for this, specifically. And? To put things in context a little, Trump rightfully deserved praise for some of his actions and I do not begrudge him that praise. That doesn't even remotely make up for the bad things that he's done, though.

It is telling, isn't it that Cheney is, in many ways, a textbook conservative, even reactionary. And the reason that the Republican Party is bouncing her is, essentially, not because she's not conservative enough, but because she is not insane enough.

I hear ya, believe me. There are so few in that party any more that are actually willing to stand up and say what needs to be said that I just have to give them credit when they do.

Saying that however, you just can't compare what Liz Cheney is doing to anything that Trump did for one very big reason: whatever Trump did that just happened to be right, he never did because it was right; he did it because it somehow benefitted him. What Cheney is doing is killing her political career and she knows it. She is doing it for the benefit of the country. Something that Trump has absolutely no concept of.

She is having her position taken away for exactly the same reason: Trump believes it benefits Trump. But, as usual, Trump can never say "You're Fired!" to her face. He has to get his cronies and henchmen to do the dirty work for him. He's too cowardly to do it himself.
 
His cunning plan has been foiled!

Trump tries to get around Twitter ban and gets suspended again

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...p-the-desk-twitter-social-media-b1843084.html

trump started posting on a Gab account (which is at 2.1m followers atm) where he posts rants 2-3 times a day, but the creation of multiple tRuMp DeSK twitter accounts suggests that Gab's not doing it for him.

This spoiler includes his latest few gab posts. They're just the standard fare, so don't bother to read this if his style irritates you. There's nothing substantial in it, it's just the same old 'I'm gonna eat some worms' cheese and whine.

The Fake News Media, working in close conjunction with Big Tech and the Radical Left Democrats, is doing everything they can to perpetuate the term “The Big Lie” when speaking of 2020 Presidential Election Fraud. They are right in that the 2020 Presidential Election was a Big Lie, but not in the way they mean. The 2020 Election, which didn’t even have Legislative approvals from many States (which is required under the U.S. Constitution), and was also otherwise corrupt, was indeed The Big Lie. So when they try to sell the American people the term The Big Lie, which they do in unison and coordination, think of it instead as the greatest Fraud in the history of our Country! An even greater Hoax than Russia, Russia, Russia, Mueller, Mueller, Mueller, Impeachment Hoax #1, Impeachment Hoax #2, or any of the other many scams the Democrats pulled!

Liz Cheney is a warmongering fool who has no business in Republican Party Leadership. We want leaders who believe in the Make America Great Again movement, and prioritize the values of America First. Elise Stefanik is a far superior choice, and she has my COMPLETE and TOTAL endorsement for GOP Conference Chair. Elise is a tough and smart communicator!

What Facebook, Twitter, and Google have done is a total disgrace and an embarrassment to our Country. Free Speech has been taken away from the President of the United States because the Radical Left Lunatics are afraid of the truth, but the truth will come out anyway, bigger and stronger than ever before. The People of our Country will not stand for it! These corrupt social media companies must pay a political price, and must never again be allowed to destroy and decimate our Electoral Process.

Warmonger Liz Cheney, who has virtually no support left in the Great State of Wyoming, continues to unknowingly and foolishly say that there was no Election Fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election when in fact, the evidence, including no Legislative approvals as demanded by the U.S. Constitution, shows the exact opposite. Had Mike Pence referred the information on six states (only need two) back to State Legislatures, and had gutless and clueless MINORITY Leader Mitch McConnell (he blew two seats in Georgia that should have never been lost) fought to expose all of the corruption that was presented at the time, with more found since, we would have had a far different Presidential result, and our Country would not be turning into a socialist nightmare! Never give up!

Heartwarming to read new polls on big-shot warmonger Liz Cheney of the great State of Wyoming. She is so low that her only chance would be if vast numbers of people run against her which, hopefully, won’t happen. They never liked her much, but I say she’ll never run in a Wyoming election again!

No, the party has changed even more since November, to the point that anyone with a modicrum of reason is expelled.

And yet they still are odds on to regain the House in 2022 IMO (thanks to gerrymandering and redistribution) and the Senate.

Close to 50% of the people who can be bothered to turn out to vote support a party which expels anyone with a modicum of reason. What does that say about the US electorate ?

Ignorance is bliss.

And their voters have been ignorant for a good while now. After all, back in 2012 many of them refused to believe that Romney would touch Medicare, despite him publicly and repeatedly backing the Ryan budget plan, which would "end Medicare as we know it."

It says what I've been saying for a long time: most people aren't very smart.

Thanks for putting that in a (properly formatted) spoiler. Although I appreciated seeing most of the Tweets during his reign, it's been really nice not to have to read those now that he's out. Just a hint in case anyone's getting any ideas...
